Wanna bet 23rd century implanted all-brain neural interfaces will have an embedded 6502 for maintenance and diagnostics? That way, when you're bored, you can still run all your favourite Commodore 64 programs.

THE HAPPENING WORLD: Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction
Some people are getting great pictures. So far, Fourmilab is getting dense fog. Observers in the northern hemisphere should look toward the southwest starting around half an hour after sunset. It's a glorious naked eye sight, and binoculars or a small telescope will provide stunning views.
